Question

Because they place a high value on ______, older adults spend more time with familiar individuals with whom they have had rewarding relationships.

Answer 1

Answer:

EMOTIONAL SATISFACTION

Explanation:

Older adults typically report higher levels of satisfaction with their social and rewarding relationships in which they have had emotional satisfaction from.

Older adults may maintain their emotional well-being by selectively pursuing emotionally meaningful goals and downplaying knowledge-related goals as they perceive their future time as increasingly limited thereby leading them to interact with emotionally close partners in which they have had emotional satisfaction with over a long period of time.

Such social partners are more likely to provide them with positive, or at least predictable, social interactions, enabling them to maintain positive emotions.
